For some time now, almost everytime I pull away (backwards or forwards) it leaps, pauses and then pulls away as expected. I've asked the question of various persons in the know but failed to get a fix. Two weeks ago, I had the front brake pads replaced. They were getting "grabby" and were well worn down. Almost immediately I noticed that pullimg away was much smoother. The second go at pulling away trick has now gone. I can only think that the front pads were intermittently binding up on the disc and letting go at the second push. Hopefully, this will help someone else with the same or similar issue.

Due to the roof lining and insulation, there’s not much room for a cable to move. Mine doesn’t have a sun roof so I don’t know how much wiggle room you will have. Please only use glass fibre rod to pull the cable. There’s a lot of other cables and plastics that could be damaged by pushing anything sharpish through the roof lining. Good luck.

Hi Sudeepg, I installed a rear dashcam and threaded the cable through the roof lining. I used a glass fibre rod (as used by electricians) to pull it through. Just make sure the cable runs behind the airbags - as close to the metal body, not the cosmetic stuff. If you check through the early posts in this thread, you’ll see where others (including me) had an issue and found a work around/solution from this forum.

Many thanks Andy for your reply. As this maybe more problematic than I first thought, I will look at making a small hole in the rubber surround and thread the cable that way. I'll certainly have a look at VW Tiguan to see if there's any more help there. Thanks again.

Using this well written guide, I have installed a Viofo A229 duo to my 2018 Kodiaq. I managed to fed the rear camera cable through the roof lining. But, I can't get the boot lid cover off. I can easily get the cover free around the bottom and sides, but can't shift it from the bottom of the rear screen. Can anyone offer some advice on this? I really want to run the cable through the rubber grommets/sleeve so it looks like it belongs there - not an after thought. Apart from this snag, the camera works well and the rear camera wiring doesn't seem to have affected the DAB radio reception as some have reported. The design of the dash cam main unit means that it doesn't get in the way of the passenger sun visor. I do have an issue getting the camera to talk to my android phone via WiFi. I usually have to reboot the camera. But this maybe an issue connected to security features installed by my company - I can't find any posts where others report the same problem. Photos to follow if/when I can properly Finish the install.
